heres what happens if I try to put text in this small space
but of course this is very interesting because I can write about the video here but you have to be careful or the text will open the box oh thats interesting it isnt forcing itself to to that any more and is text wrapping like I would expect this is a continouse line of text that I am typing across the whole page of course it will take up more column space than in the window but this looks like what I want to achieve.. the trick is now to master the three column span
and here is my video nested in the second columnnow tryingtoopenthiscolumnup... ................................................................. ...................... ..............

Reflection on the group TBL wikispaces project

Personal Reflection - George.
Well I just want to say how much fun I had working on widegets and code. It took up a lot of time but was great. I really learned a lot about wikispaces and feel like I could successfully co-ordinate students in similar tasks. I got a bit bogged down at times, but it was all worth it. I learnerd how to use wikitext, embed videos from other sites, use communication widgets, create and embed podcasts, upload audio and video to the site, manipulate and edit images, and access RSS feeds. I think I might have left out a few things, but well... I learned a lot. This part of our assessment was a lot more engaging for me than the first half and I really think that small groups are better than large groups in online learning. This project was motivating and creative. I'm not sure it was motivating because of the group aspect, or because of the creative element. For me, probably the opportunity to be creative is most important. I expected the collaborative aspect to be more difficult than it actually was, and all the members of my team were very easy to work with. I think one good thing about collaborative projects like this one is that it enables participants to reveal their own skills within a group framework. Each member can do what they are good at doing, and the result is somehow greater than the sum of the parts.

Firstly, thanks to Fiona, George and Nihaya for their fantastic contributions to this project. George is responsible for the overall look and feel of this website, and I think he did fantastically well. Fiona is what I call a 'project driver' who kept us all on-track, and often referred us back to the assessment criteria. Nihaya always had something positive to contribute to our discussions. Like George, I really enjoyed the collaborative aspect of the project. I will quite miss our Tuesday night Skypechat sessions. I did find that some aspects of the project were very time consuming. For example, editing of Wikispaces is not difficult, but it can be a bit laborious fiddling with formatting etc. It was also difficult to keep the content concise, because there is such a vast pool of information out there. On the other hand, there is not yet a significant body of rigorous teaching research backing the value of some CMC technologies in primary and secondary education (Skype for example). Nevertheless, I hope to incorporate the concepts we covered into my teaching in future.
